- David Patterson argues that when superintelligence (SI) can instantly generate educational videos, games, and VR worlds and explain anything at a child's pace, formal tutoring will be fully handled by SI.
- As SI and robots take over jobs, parents revert from breadwinners to caregivers with more time for hands-on raising.
- He predicts homeschooling becomes mainstream: SI handles academics while parents supervise social, moral, and practical activities with other children.
- Core claim: who children become will matter more than what they know, so education should focus on social, moral, and practical skills.
